Module Introduction

Data Science
Data science involves using automated
methods to analyze massive amounts of
data and to extract knowledge from them
Data science can turn the vast amounts of
data the digital age generates into new
insights and new knowledge.

Machine Learning
Field of study that gives computers the
ability to learn without being explicitly
programmed

CE52604-5-Object Oriented Methods

Module Introduction

Classification using Decision

Trees
Decision tree builds classification models
in the form of a tree structure. It breaks
down a dataset into smaller and smaller
subsets while at the same time an
associated decision tree is incrementally
developed. The final result is a tree with
decision nodes and leaf nodes.

 Big Data implies huge data volumes that cannot be

processed effectively with traditional applications. Big Data
processing begins with raw data that is not accumulated and it
is often impossible to store such data in the memory of a
single computer.
Machine learning (ML) is an artificial intelligence technique
that is broadly used in Data Mining. ML uses a training
dataset to build a model that can predict values of target
variables, for example, future sales. Data Mining uses the
predictive force of machine learning by applying various
machine learning algorithms to Big Data.

 Data Analytics is all about automating insights into a dataset

and supposes the usage of queries and data aggregation
procedures. It can represent various dependencies between
input variables, but also it can use Data Mining techniques and
tools to discover hidden patterns in the dataset under analysis.
For example, not obvious associations between user
purchases can be automatically discovered.
Data Analysis stands for human activities aimed at gaining
some insight on a dataset. An analyst can use some Data
Analytics tools to obtain desired results, but in principle, Data
Analysis can be performed without special data processing.
For example, a Forex trader can rely on his/her experience to
open or close a trading position.
